Crunch, Crunch…Crunch, Crunch…. What’s that on the roof? Is it a burglar or a vagrant? A vacuum salesman or a Sasquatch? Damn look, it’s Santa on his sleigh with Kraang and the faded Jeffree’s mascot tossing out Christmas dub plates for the entire land. I think it’s safe to say that here at Mad Decent we caught the christmas spirit hard this year.  We  went all out and had our biggest tunes remixed by the artists themselves xmas-style for your pleasure.  Laid out here are some serious  xmas re-imaginings from Diplo, DJ Snake, Gent & Jawns, Juyen Sebulba, Astronomar and Kennedy Jones.  Also on the original side of thing, Vjuan Allure gives us a vogued out reindeer stomper with “RUDE OFF 2013” and Mitch Murder unleashes a fireside roasted chestnut R&B ballad with help from Santell.

TECH110: MaxNRG - Now Hear This / Midnight Rider

From grimy trap to main-stage D&B, from delicate melodies to stupidly big basslines, from Ukraine to the UK, MaxNRG's got it covered. Since signing to Technique he's demonstrated a level of versatility that's meant each new release comes with the promise of some new twist in the bass-music tale. Listen to the horror-movie darkness of Danger Zone, the electro-acid road joint Dis Way We Gotta Do It and the proudly Eastern European Arkan, and you wouldn't even know it was the same mind at work. 

So what's the story this time? 

Now Hear This is straight wheel-up-and-come-again material. A percussive first thirty-two establishes a base level of tension, before a textbook breakdown and build combo ramps it even further. Then a monster drop, made of battling percussive riffs and driving basslines supported by iron fist drums, provides the rave exactly what it's been waiting for. Then Max breaks it down to show he's still got more where that came from for the second drop. This is a mighty piece of dancefloor science and a party-hyping essential. 

Then, of course, it's a different vibe for Midnight Rider. Paying homage to his roots, Max weaves balalaika samples into the rough-hewn bass and beats, giving this tune a uniquely haunting quality. This is soulful D&B done Ukrainian style, undeniably led by melody but without ever sacrificing raw dancefloor power. It's a track with a big-room, hands-in-the-air mentality, but delivered with the subtlety that a real instrument brings to the table. 

With this release, MaxNRG has shown he's still got no interest in sticking to a formula. Constantly evolving and rewriting the rule-book as he goes, he's capable of reliably supplying the dancefloor with weighty bass and beats while still pushing genre-boundaries. Stay locked, because this journey has many more miles to go.

In case you don't know, WAR is essentially the black ops division of Technique Recordings. The imprint only emerges from cover on rare occasions and, when it does, it always signals the delivery of a heavy payload of explosive dancefloor material. This particular mission demonstrates that the name Worldwide Audio Recordings is no idle boast. This unit has truly international credentials.

Then Ukraine's in the house, as MaxNRG's “50,000” rolls through. This one's the sound of a producer refusing to compromise on their quirky individual style. The pizzicato of the intro weaves into a progression of harmonic tones and the pitch-twisted vocal element that gives the track its name. Pop-and-lock drums and swathes of mid-range drive, punctuated with classic MPC-style hits give this an irresistible groove.
This EP shows off both the international and interconnected nature of the scene. Showing off musicality, technical expertise and the variety of individual takes on rave-aimed D&B,
“Cubic” provides an insight into the minds of some of the hottest producers from around the world. And it'll destroy some dancefloors in the process.
